HOW DO I DISABLE CELL BROADCAST on Nougat 7.1.2??? - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys I have been getting random cell broadcast from every place of this city as I travel from home to other places after I installed nougat. As its a System App I cant force close the notification. So I just have selected Show notifications silently.
its really frustrating the notifications just keep coming there is no stop to this. its been a week now.!!
Is there anyway I can disable this from showing up or anything?

disable it.
settings-> applications->cell broadcast->disable
or
you can turn off through the (los) Messanger or google Messanger settings.

On LineageOS / Nougat, the customary "alert" settings have no effect, and there is no app called CellBroadcast-whatever.
Instead, it is now called "Mobile Broadcasts", and cannot be disabled via the standard System->Apps menu. However, you can remove SMS permissions from it, which might help.
Or one can also use TitaniumBackup to "Freeze" it (disable it completely without uninstalling).

[Q] Keep notifications troubleshooting?

I'm not able to get the notifications to survive greenification.
Moto G (xt1031)
Android 4.4.2 (stock Republic Wireless ROM)
Last Xposed
Donation package installed
As an example, I greenify Mailbox (new app from Dropbox). It supports GCM, so it pops up when I receive new mail. When it gets greenified, the notification disappears. Same behavior for Hangouts: new messages come in, notifications get wiped away when greenified.
How should I troubleshoot this? I've tried reinstall, wipe data, added as device administrator and accessibility service. When in Boost mode, there isn't any option for Greenify to read notifications.
Appreciate any help with this!
There is an option in Greenify settings called Keep notifications. Check it.
It keeps notifications even after app is greenifed.
I thought you were trolling at first. Then I reread my post and saw that I never explicitly stated that the checkbox doesn't work.
Regardless of whether that option is ticked or not, my notifications disappear when the apps are greenified. That's what I'm looking to troubleshoot.
Thanks for the response anyway!
As an update, stock Republic Wireless 4.4.4 still has this issue. !
UPDATE: When browsing other posts, I saw that sometimes Greenify would show that it's running in Boost mode and not fully be in Boost mode.
The fix was to select working mode in settings and tap again on Boost, even when it's already selected. Greenify froze, crashed, reopened, and began working as expected.

Trouble with notifications

Having trouble when phone has been in sleep for half hour or more. Notifications coming through wifi are not working. I've being trying to solve it since yesterday but I'm not having any luck.
I've made sure the apps in question are on auto start in permissions, turned off ultra long standby mode in battery power management settings and set the apps to be exempt from cleaning in app protection settings and even turned off 'align wakeup' in power management, and of course wifi is set always on.
Phone is x820 model running fresh china 17S rom, to which i manually installed google play, gmail, bbm apps.. bbm and gmail are the apps in question are the ones not getting notifications, even though phone can receive an sms messages no problem, weirdly even receiving an sms doesnt spring the other notifications to work, also when turning the screen back on notifications still don't come for up to ten minutes even though wifi is working fine.
Any help would be really apreciated, thanks
Hi,
I'm in the same situation as you.
Also my calendar doesn't want to sync. I've flashed phonesky.apk for google apps but it doesn't contains google agenda sync adapter.. so no agenda sync
I've some app which is always run but seems to be cut by the system
Also have a lot of start up app (reboot) but nothing start huhu
17s china
Yeah it's pretty odd. Maybe the trying the Indian rom is the solution.
Generally the settings for notifications should be done in this way:
1. Check that notifications for the desired apps are ON under the menu Settings - Notification Management
2. Allow the apps to start automatically under the menu Settings - Permissions - You have allowed ... apps to auto launch
3. Disable the auto cleaning of the apps under Phone manager - Power Saving Management - App protection
I have Lock-Screen cleanup unchecked, Ultra-Long standby during sleep checked, Align wakeup checked, Clock night-alignment mode checked.
In this way I have no problems with notifications with whatsapp, viber, e-mail (I'm using yahoo mail with the stock email app), fb messenger, Facebook.
If the above are done and stil there are no notifications, then check in the app itself. The last but not least, reflash the firmware.

It's seems when my screen is off, the data is also off because i've shown 0.00kb/s when there is a connection to internet (wifi or data)
but when i turn it on, 1 sec later it show 0.00kb/s so when screen is off, no data ??

If your data will work all the time, then the battery will be drained fast. The phone connects from time to time to the Internet and then you'll get the necessary notifications. I cannot tell you how often is this, but you can decrease the time by deselecting Align Wakeup in Power Saving Management.
I am not sure that the way described above is correct, so if someone knows differently, please state.
edit.. thought i found a workaround, but I jumped the gun. Still trying to work this out.
I'm giving up, thinking about sending phone back under the reason of not fit for purpose
Maybe we need to try cuoco rom.
I've installed gapps by myself so maybe they is a bug with it
I've been testing WhatsApp all night, checking every hour if a message will get through and so far it has.... but i bet as soon as i post this it will stop working, that's the luck i seem to have lol
oddly on 19S rom WhatsApp is automatically set up to lock itself in memory, with the lock sign in recents screen, and autostart enabled in permissions
edit, put the phone in airplane mode while i slept, turned airplane mode off and now whatsapp won't get notifications even with the screen on unless i open WhatsAppl
I'm sure it shouldn't be this hard

manually remove notifications from the OS?

Is there a way to manually remove notifications from the OS directly?
Issue: I have Arlo cameras, Each time a cam sees movement I get an alert on my phone via the app. The android app is having issues now where you will get multiple alerts for the same activation. Each time you change alert settings it adds an alert, reinstall the app, it adds an alert. So I turned off alerts one day when workers were at my house, and when I reactivated the alerts later I started getting two alerts per activation. In trying to fix this I turned off alerts and turned them on again, then i was getting 3 alerts per activation. I reinstalled the app then i was getting 4 alerts per activation. The issue is easily reproducible and many users are having the issue in the netgear/arlo forums since about april but there is no fix from Arlo. Turning off alerts for the app in the OS settings menu does stop all alerts for it, but when you turn it back on there you still get the multiple alerts.
Some users seem to be able to fix the issue by disabling & deleting backups, installing and then reinstalling the app, but this has not worked for many. The only fix that seems to work for everyone that tries it is to wipe the phone completely. Just do not want to do that.
I am up to 7 alerts now and Its driving me nuts.
in my non-developer view, I'm guessing that the app is not removing alerts states in the OS when they are deactivated in the app or during uninstall and then is also not checking if an existing alert state is set in the OS for itself before setting a new one. So anything you do that would set an alert its adding a new one, rather than replacing the existing one. Seems to me there must be a way to manually remove the alert states in the OS?

Any way to fix notifications?

None of the notifications are pushing through. The phone is in my hand, I am making a call to my discord account, and the call doesn't get through unless I open the app. It works perfectly fine when I restart the device and start the application. The notifications don't get through if I don't start the app. Same problem with Whatsapp, Skype, and Gmail.
I have tried everything except formatting the device. Disabled battery optimization, given special access to all apps, enabled all the notifications in all the apps, enabled draw over feature whenever possible. My notifications aren't coming through. I use Skype for work, and this is a new device, hardly a month old now.
Does anyone else face the same issue? Any solutions?
Reset app preference.
Check if you have DND enabled by any chance.
Worst case format it.
For Skype, you need to select run in background in skype settings as well(apart from the usual settings and battery options)
Hey, thanks for replying so quickly.
Same problem after resetting app preferences and restarting the device, Shashank1320. Notifications come through till I disconnect from Wi-fi. Once I reconnect, the notifications don't come through.

Question Push notifications problem

Of all apps / messengers I tried, only OkCupid push notifications don't work AT ALL on my Realme GT 5G (Android 12, Realme UI 3.0, C.20 GDPR). Viber, WhatsApp... working as expected without any fiddling with settings.
I literally tried everything I could think of:
I turned notifications on in app itself and in Android settings too (some of them that I need and, in the end, all of them). Battery optimization is turned off for the app. Background activity is allowed. Autostart allowed. Auto app-freeze and some more Realme battery settings turned off. Locked OkCupid app in task manager / left it to work in background. I restarted phone multiple times. Tried varius combinations of above settings. Deleted cache, reinstalled and updated app - nothing works. Only when I load app it'll show a badge on messages tab and sometimes even that doesn't work and I have to manually open the tab to see the message.
Also, GSAM battery monitor is sometimes being killed for no reason although I whitelisted it everywhere.
I'm out if ideas so if anybody have any fresh idea, please let me know.
Thanks.
